The Price of Gas Versus Printer Ink
Hat Tip to Stix: Think a gallon of gas is expensive? All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are.... You will be really shocked by the last one! (At least, I was...)
This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective:
Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 . $10.32 per gallon
Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 ........$9.52 per gallon
Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 ... $10.17 per gallon
Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 ........ $10.00 per gallon
Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 ..... $33.60 per gallon
Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 .. $178.13 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 .. $123.20 per gallon
Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 .... . $25.42 per gallon
Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 ...$84.48 per gallo
And this is the REAL KICKER... Evian water 9 oz $1.49..$21.19 per gallon! $21.19 for WATER and the buyers don't even know the source (Evian spelled backwards is Naive)
Ever wonder why printers are so cheap? So they hcan ave you hooked for the ink.
Someone calculated the cost of the ink at (you won't believe it....but it is true....)
$5,200 a gal. (five thousand two hundred dollars)
So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or God forbid, Printer Ink!
Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump.
And - If you don't pass this along to at least one person, your muffler will fall off!!
Okay, your muffler won't really fall off . . . but, you might run out of toilet paper.

Next time you buy 20 gallons of Pepto Bismol, Ocean Spray, or scope every week, let us know. That put's it really into perspective about the price of gasoline.
